We were out in the woods to pick blueberries and today I used my camera for close-up photography. To succeed in close-up or macro photography needs a strong lighting of your object. The best results comes with a macro lens, but in good conditions, a normal lens is perfectly OK. My lens was in this case switched on manual focus and the camera external control was on scene / landscape photography mode.

The photograph is generally recognized as “macro” when you are increasing the size of an object in your picture from about half life-size, as represented on the image sensor, to five times life-size. You should also use an f-stop no wider/larger than f/16 to get most of the subject in focus. If you find an insect or small creature that allows you to get close to it, keep on shooting!
